I think you can give some licence to people you know, like SV and Grumpy Git, certainly more than you did... Aren't you prepared to have some faith in them? Fair enough, cut it off if necessary but not before it is necessary, surely?
Nobody would expect you or any moderator to allow a unknown quantity to shoot his/her mouth off.
Klik, a couple of things.
My first post on that thread "...........Please
everyone, keep the discussion decent. "
The key word here is 'everyone'.
If you actually read the thread, and read the words
which I actually wrote.
When SV asked if he'd done anything wrong, the answer from me was
"Nope you did not do anything wrong SV. "
GG then asked similar, my answer was
"No, not at all Grumpy"
There was no problem with their posts, if there was I would have edited them, and you can see this is not the case. I actually agreed with the original poster and said so, nobody was cut off or moderated Klik! Which part of a 'polite reminder' can be misconstrued?
Any thread can go downhill quickly as stated elsewhere, it has nothing to do with whom I do or do not know. It is easier, on what can be emotive subjects, for mods to issue a brief statment
early and ask for people to stick to the forum rules so as people do not get offended.
Now, as a slight aside, can we please go back to your suggestion of me denying whoever their human rights.
I asked you
Let me get this straight, are you saying that we should allow anyone to post whatever they see fit on this forum, because it is their opinion?
I am assuming that you do now appreciate that we cannot allow people to post what they like?
